For that price I would go with a set of lpp's simply because they are stainless and not a coated header...

im running a flowmaster 40 series and now i like it but i dont know if it would be too loud when im running that setup...

where can i get the lpp's, for how much? i was told i should buy coated so it didnt get so hot under the hood, what do u guys think

the cutouts sounds like a good idea maybe not for the neibors but more me lol

Search lpp on the web, it will come up... I think if it gets to hot under the hood you can always wrap them.. Alot of us are running stainless with out a problem... It is a motor, it is going to get hot Remember stainless is forever... Your not getting JET HOT quality on the pacesetters

you'll see a gain. If LPPs are the same as Pacesetters, get the LPPs. Pacesetters are nice, but like John said, they are not stainless, so you will be replacing them sooner than you would the LPPs. I wish I new that they were the same price when I bought mine, but I don't think they were out at the time.

Ive got the LPP's and don't have any heat issues at all. The coating on the Pacesetters will end up rusting through eventually as well. LPP>Pacesetter.
